Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $444,469 to Harford County Board of Education on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003.

Harford County Public Schools, operating as the recipient in Bel Air, Maryland, receives Impact Aid funding to offset revenue losses resulting from the presence of federally connected children—those living on federal property or having a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—whose attendance reduces the district's taxable base. The district serves approximately 40,000 students across 53 schools, with federally connected students comprising over 10 percent of enrollment, including military-connected families.

The award runs through September 30, 2031. Place of performance is Bel Air, Maryland. Impact Aid payments are computed under statutory formula and made annually to eligible local educational agencies where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or have connections to federal property or active military duty status.
